Integration in ERP environments: rhetoric, realities and organisational possibilities

Light, BA; Wagner, E

Abstract

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) packages are said to enable integration when the standard inscription is adhered to through software configuration. A social shaping perspective expands conceptualisations of ERP packages, enabling a view of them as configurational technologies. Thus, ERP integration is opened up and the integration through standardisation thesis is challenged.
